- Let the model cool down after printing. Removing it while it is hot will deform it.
Flying the model:
- Carefully connect the thin band on the tail wing. See pictures for how to do it in original model.
- Throw it and enjoy its flight
- You can trim up/down and left/right with the small elements at the tail wing. For up/down, use the bar at the thin band. For left/right, use the the element at the big tailwing.
Why does this model exists?
In context of a practical programming course I provide in a local Montessori school, we decided to participate on the “Make It Fly” contest.
To have a model ready in time, we decided to modify the existing project to be printable on our nice PrusaMINI and furthermore try out a new main wing form.
By that, parametric CAD by use of OpenSCAD can be experienced.
